Afternoons bring deep-dive whiteboarding sessions, internal knowledge sharing, or contributing to a CPG reference architecture. You close the day connecting with a senior engineering leader, building the trust that turns customers into cloud advocates. And somewhere in between, you get to do genuinely cool things: building Agentic AI workflows that automate complex supply chain decisions, experimenting with the latest foundation models, and helping CPG leaders imagine what their business looks like when AI is woven into everything.
